CONTRIBUTE

The funding goal for the new playground is $550,000. The Township has provided $150,000 in start-up money set aside for this project. These funds have come from parks and recreation fees charged to developers.

East Hempfield Township also landed a grant for $175,000 for the rehabilitation and further development of A. Herr Park in East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County. The grant was awarded in October 2014 by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). The grant dollars will be used to defray the costs of constructing the new playground at A. Herr Park. To learn more, visit facebook.com/DCNR.C2P2.Grants.

The remaining balance of the project will be funded through various fundraising activities, community and corporate donations and sponsorships, and grants.
